Site Administration

Requires site administration access. The features described in this article are only available to users with the Site Administrator role (or another role granting the relevant site-tier permissions).

The admin area at /admin provides centralized management of users, workareas, groups, roles, and global configuration.

User Management

Navigate to Administration → Site → Users to create and manage user accounts.

Creating a User

1. Click Add User
2. Enter a Username (unique identifier, cannot be changed)
3. Optionally set a Display Name and Email
4. Click Create — a password will be auto-generated and displayed

Editing a User

Click a user to open their detail page, where you can change their display name and email, reset their password, and manage their roles — both site roles (applying across the whole installation) and per-workarea roles. See Roles & Permissions for how roles work.

Deactivating a User

Click the deactivate button next to a user and confirm. Deactivated users cannot log in but their data is preserved. Users can be reactivated later.

Searching Users

Use the search bar to filter users by ID, display name, or email. Summary cards show total, active, and inactive user counts.

Workarea Management

Navigate to Administration → Site → Workareas to manage all workareas in the system.

Creating a Workarea

1. Click Create Workarea
2. Enter a Workarea ID (unique, cannot be changed)
3. Set a Name
4. Select a Group from existing groups
5. Optionally add a Description
6. Click Create

Workarea Actions

From the actions menu on each workarea, you can:

Action	Description
Edit Properties	Change name, group, and description
Manage Members	Add or remove workarea members and change roles
Activate / Deactivate	Toggle the workarea’s active status
Open Workarea	Navigate to the workarea

Filtering Workareas

Use the status filter to view All, Active, Inactive, or Deleted workareas. The search bar filters by ID, name, or group.

Workarea Group Management

Navigate to Administration → Site → Workarea Groups to organize workareas into groups.

Groups provide a configuration inheritance layer between global defaults and individual workareas. All workareas in a group inherit the group’s item types, link types, enumerations, and workflow definitions. See Configuration Inheritance for how the three tiers merge.

Creating a Group

1. Click Create Group
2. Enter a group name and optional description
3. Click Create

Group Settings

Click the settings icon on a group to configure its inherited settings. Group settings use the same interface as workarea Settings with tabs for:

• General — Group name and description
• Type Management — Item types, document types, link types
• Data — Enumerations
• Workflows — Workflow definitions and assignments

Deleting a Group

Groups can only be deleted if they have no assigned workareas. Remove or reassign all workareas first.

Access Control

Access in ROPARC is role-based: roles bundle permissions and are assigned to users or user groups at the site, workarea-group, or workarea tier. Four articles cover the system:

• Roles & Permissions — the permission model, built-in roles, the permission matrix, and creating custom roles
• Query-Scoped Permissions — narrowing a grant with a query predicate, e.g. “edit only own drafts”
• User Groups — granting roles to many users at once
• Troubleshooting Permissions — the Effective Permissions inspector and common access questions

Global Configuration

Navigate to Administration → Site → Global Configuration to define system-wide defaults.

Global configuration provides the base settings that all groups and workareas inherit from. It includes:

• Item Types — Default item types available system-wide
• Link Types — Default link types available system-wide
• Enumerations — Default enumerations available system-wide

Individual groups and workareas can inherit these defaults or override them with their own configurations. See Configuration Inheritance for details on the configuration hierarchy and merge rules.
